The Younger Generation Takes Part in the Bloodline Baptism, Leaving Only One of the Golden Generation
Just as the many Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo experts began their baptisms, one after another.
The geniuses of the younger generation were unwilling to be outdone.
At Spirit Hall Academy.
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, the three hailed as the Golden Generation, looked up at the sky.
Hu Liena spoke first. "As the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, we're the undisputed number one of the younger generation. There's no reason we should lose to the older experts, is there?"
Naturally, Xie Yue agreed with his sister.
As for Yan, he had the look of a total simp.
"That's right, that's right! Nana, everything you say is right!"
And so the three spoke at once. "Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan request to take part in the baptism!"
The next second, three streaks of light descended, instantly enveloping them.
Images of the three also appeared on the sky screen.
[That's the Spirit Hall Golden Generation!]
[Heavens, why did all three of them go up together?]
[If they fail, won't the entire Spirit Hall Golden Generation die young?]
At the Four Elements Academy.
Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian, and the others saw that the entire Spirit Hall Golden Generation had gone up.
As fellow standouts of the younger generation, how could they stand by and watch those three steal all the limelight?
So they too joined the bloodline baptism, one after another.
At that moment, in an unknown stretch of wilderness.
Tang Hao had finally managed to use the chaos to take Tang San and escape Qian Daoliu's pursuit.
This time, his injuries, which he had only just managed to recover from, had come back in full force.
Tang Hao lay on the ground on his knees, coughing up mouthful after mouthful of blood.
His whole presence had grown considerably weaker.
"Dad! How are you?"
Tang San hurried to Tang Hao's side and crouched down to check on him.
"Damn Spirit Hall! Once I recover from my injuries, I'll destroy Spirit Hall sooner or later!"
Tang Hao pounded the ground, his eyes bloodshot and his breath coming in great gasps like an ox.
Tang San clenched his fists, cursing Spirit Hall's actions in his heart as well.
That evil organization had separated him from his most respected teacher and the girl he loved, and now it had driven him and his father to flee through the wilderness like stray dogs.
These people already had a way to die!
Once he became a god and inherited the divine positions of the Sea God and Asura God, he would make them pay!
Only after the two recovered their wits did they notice the bloodline baptism on the sky screen.
When Tang Hao saw that the old fellow Chen Xin had become a Peerless Douluo outright after completing the baptism, he was green with envy.
He was the mighty Clear Sky Douluo, the youngest Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent, yet now he could only lie low with grievous injuries.
How he hated it!
But as things stood, Tang Hao didn't dare take part in the bloodline baptism. His body was in far too poor a state.
If he underwent the baptism in this condition, he would most likely die inside.
Tang Hao turned to look at Tang San, a trace of madness in his eyes.
"Xiao San!"
"You're my son, Tang Hao's son, and the future Sea God and Asura God. You're destined to be the most peerless genius on the Douluo Continent!"
"So you'll definitely succeed in this mere bloodline baptism."
Tang San understood what Tang Hao meant.
"Don't worry, Father. I'll definitely complete the baptism!"
With that, Tang San informed the sky screen that he wanted to take part in the baptism.
The next instant, a beam of heavenly light took Tang San up as well.
After all, Tang San was someone the sky screen had confirmed would become a god in the future, so the people of the continent still paid him considerable attention.
Not only that, but in this round of the bloodline baptism, everyone paid even more attention to Tang San and the others of the younger generation than to the older experts.
[Which of the younger generation do you think will succeed?]
[Obviously the Spirit Hall Golden Generation! Those three are the strongest of the younger generation on the continent. When their peers were only Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors, they were already Soul King experts. If anyone has the best chance of succeeding, it's definitely them!]
[I think Tang San will succeed. Whatever else you say, the sky screen itself named him as someone who'll become a god in the future. Even if he isn't famous now, he's no ordinary genius.]
At that moment, Tang San's bloodline baptism officially began.
In an instant, pain intense enough to tear every meridian in his body apart spread through him.
"Ah!"
Unable to hold it in, Tang San let out an inhuman scream.
"Damn it! Why does it hurt so much?"
Tang San immediately gritted his teeth and circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to resist the pain.
The pain in his body eased somewhat at once, and Tang San was delighted.
As expected of his Tang Sect's peerless cultivation technique! With the Mysterious Heaven Skill's help, he would surely complete this mere bloodline baptism and become the undisputed number one of his generation!
Meanwhile, the others of his generation who had started before him were not all so fortunate.
Less than a minute after the baptism began, many were unable to withstand the power of the bloodline and died on the spot.
As time passed, the death toll began to soar.
The ordinary students and disciples who had followed the elite students and disciples of the various academies and sects up burst in the sky one after another like fireworks, their blood nearly dyeing the sky crimson.
Of course, there were exceptions. Some people of ordinary strength and talent faced somewhat less pressure from the bloodline baptism, but their willpower was incomparably firm.
Under these circumstances, some of them succeeded in completing the baptism and gained a trace of thin Dou Di Bloodline power.
It wasn't much, but to them, it was already exceedingly precious.
Yet something happened to the closely watched Spirit Hall Golden Generation that was beyond everyone's expectations.
Five minutes after Yan began his bloodline baptism, his entire body suddenly swelled up like a balloon.
Then,
Bang!!!
He burst into a spray of blood right before everyone's eyes.
[What? Even the Spirit Hall Golden Generation is starting to fail?]
[Oh, mother, this bloodline baptism is too terrifying!]
[Wait, it looks like Hu Liena is about to succeed!]
As those words rang out, everyone turned their gaze to the image of Hu Liena.
Her pretty face, pale from the excruciating pain, was slowly regaining its color.
At the same time, her Martial Soul, the Demon Fox, leaped out of her body, then suddenly underwent a transformation under everyone's incredulous gazes.
The little pink fox leaped into the air and transformed into a three-meter-tall, snow-white giant fox. Several golden markings could be faintly glimpsed on its snowy fur.
The fox looked pure and pristine, yet it gave off a baleful presence that only an apex predator could possess.
Hu Liena slowly opened her eyes, and a fox-shaped mark of gold and silver appeared on her forehead.
At that moment, Hu Liena also learned of the changes that had occurred in her body.
Under the influence of that wisp of Dou Di Bloodline in her body, her Martial Soul, the Demon Fox, had transformed outright into an Ancient Heavenly Fox.
Her cultivation had also broken straight through to level sixty, and she had completed the conversion to Spiritual Energy.
As she was now, even an ordinary Soul Saint or Soul Douluo might not be able to match her in battle.
Just as Hu Liena, her heart full of joy, wanted to share this happy news with her brother, she turned to look beside her.
And then she saw her brother Xie Yue,
Bang!
